  Chairman of the Lagos State House of Assembly Committee  on Judiciary, Human Rights, Public Petitions & LASIEC, Hon. Victor Akande has said that the Assembly was committed to ensuring that the state's anti-corruption commission is given the necessary legal backing. Akande, representing Ojo Constituency 1 in the Assembly, stated this on Wednesday at a-day stakeholder parley held within the Assembly complex, on a Bill for “A Law To Amend The Lagos State Public Conplaints And Anti-Corruption Commission Law, 2021.” The lawmaker noted that it was ideal to ensure that some items were deleted in the law for the effectiveness of the commission. “Some of the sections needed to be redrafted just to give the bill a human face, and this has been done.  “We also discovered that we didn’t take the import of these, while working on the bill.

Image
Ogun State Commissioner for Forestry, Hon. Tunji Akinosi reportedly threw caution to the wind on Wednesday April 6, 2022, when he allegedly invaded some parts of Ilaro Town with thugs and ordered them to burn down some buildings in the area. Sources, who witnessed the show of shame said that Akinosi went to the town on a day that Senator Solomon Adeola Olamileka aka Yayi, went to the town to declare his intention to move from Lagos West to contest in Ogun West in 2023 under the All Progressives Congress (APC). The declaration took place on Empire Ground in the town. It was gathered that Akinosi, who hails from Igbesa area of Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government in Ogun State is a close ally of Yayi, who also hails from Yewa area of the state. Akinosi, said to be vying for a seat in the Federal House of Representatives from Ado-Odo/Ota in 2023, had been informed that some portions of land meant for forest reserve by the state government in the town had been occupied by some people without permi

StarTimes vs GOtv: which is better? By Bola Aina

In spite of the prevailing harsh time, which is projected not to subside soon, MultiChoice announced new rates for its offerings, starting April 1, 2022. This latest price increase angers everyone who sees it as insensitive on the part of DStv and GOtv’s management. The premium package on DStv is N21,000, no longer N18,400. Compact Plus has jumped from N12,400 to N14,250; while Compact moves to N9,000 from N7,900. On the mid and low-range packages, Confam costs N5,300 and is no longer N4,615; while Yanga subscribers will pay N2,950 and not N2,565. The new prices for the GOtv packages are GOtv Max for N4,150, GOtv Jolli for N2,800, GOtv Jinja for N1,900, GOtv Lite for N900. From all indications, MultiChoice is playing on the intelligence, or ignorance, of its esteemed customers who mostly do not know nor explore other pay-TV options. As far as pay-TV entertainment is the topic of discussion in Nigeria, there are just two contenders, StarTimes and MultiChoice (with its DStv and GOtv vari
